Farewell dad
A true red for 50 years plus, through the bad times but thankfully saw the great times from 1997 onwards
Always hypnotised us with his stories about barrow in Furness away and the like
The best one I can remember was when he took me down to oakwell in the early eighties
I was 8 or 9 years old and we were next to the old tunnel in the west stand
He was waxing lyrical about the drinks he’d had with mick mcarthy the night before and I was like ‘yeah of course you did dad!’
Then when the reds ran out for the match. to my amazement macca turned round whilst jogging out n said to my dad “alright joor”
My jaw hit the floor!
Night god bless favver
Your quotes will live on and you’ll always be on the prediction winners list
